Consider a quadraticequaiton az^(2) + bz + c=0, where a,b,c arecomplex number. The condition that theequation has onepurely imaginary root is

Answer»

`(cbara -abarc)^(2)= (b barc+ cbarb)(abara - bara b)`
`(cbarc -abarc)^(2)= (b barc - C bar a)^(2) (abarb +bar a b)`
`(c bara - a barc)^(2) = (b bar c + c bar b) (a bar b + a bar b)`
None of these

Solution : Let`z_(1)` (purely imginary ) be a root of thegivenequationThen,
`z_(1) = - barz_(1)`
and`underline(az_(1)^(2) + bz_(1) + c)=0""(1)`
`rArr az_(1)^(2) + bz_(1) + c = 0`
`rArr bara barz_(1)^(2) + barb barz_(1) + c = 0`
`rArr bar z bar z_(1)^(2) + bar b bar z_(1) + barc = 0`
`rArr bar a bar z_(1)^(2) - bar b barz_(1) + barc = 0""(as barz_(1) = - z_(1))""(2)`
Now Eqs. (1) and (2) musthave one common root.
`therefore ( cbara-abarc)^(2) =(barbc+ cbarb) (-abarb - barab)`
Let `z_(1)` and `z_(2)` be two purely IMAGINARY ROOTS. Then,
`barz_(1) = -z_(1), barz_(2) = - z_(2)`
Now , `underline(abarz^(2) + bz + c) = 0""(3)`
or `AZ^(2) + bz + c=bar0`
or `bara barz_(20 + barb barz + barc =0`
or `bara z^(2) - barbz + barc = 0""(4)`
Equations (3) and (4) must be identical as their roots are same.
` therefore (a)/(bara) = -(b)/(barb)=(c)/(barc)`
`rArr abarc = barac,+ barab = 0` and `b barc +barbc=0`
. Hence, `barac` is purely real and `abarb` and `bbarc`are purely imaginary .
let `z_(1)` (purely real ) be a root of the givenequation . Then ,
`z_(1) = barz_(1)`LTBR gt and ``underline(az_(1)^(2) + bz_(1) + c)= bar0""(5)`
or `az_(1)^(2) + bz_(1) + c=0`
or `baraz_(1)^(2) + bz_(1) + c = bar0`
or `baraz_(1)^(2) + barb z_(1) + c= 0""(6)`
Now(5) and (6) must have one common root. Hence,
`(cbara - abarc)^(2) = (b barc - cbarb)(abarb-barab)`
